Older students seeking an encore career in social work for our later years

All of us are growing social workers making career and life transitions. We want to connect, collaborate and fully engage in our graduate education. Our hope is that our network will continue long after we graduate and support the growth of graduate social work at WCU.

Join now!

We hope to make our connections virtually through email, with occasional meetings. We want to hear your ideas. Here are some ideas we are considering:

An annual orientation meeting for students coming back to school after years away

An online discussion group sharing questions, answers, and support

A survey to learn the experience you bring from other careers that is beneficial to social work and what you want from your education
